This invention relates to bindings for shoeheel facings, is an improvement of the invention set forth inthe United States Letters Patent No.-1,5-1;0,980,which was issued to me June the ninth, 1925, and has for an object the provision of novel means by which.

satin, leather, or similar facings for wo-' mens shoe-heels may be confined at the lower edge thereof and thus be protected from displacement and 1n ury.' i

'- A further object of this invention is to ,f

produce an artistic effect at thc junction of lift or cap.

Unlikethe invention coveredby :United States Letters Patent 'No.-1,540,980, this, my-

present invention, has no transversely disposed bar from front to rear; nor is the circumference of this invention closed at all its points; therefore, these marked departures make thisinvention conformable to the external configuration of more than one size of womans shoe-heel.

The chief object of this, my present in vention, is by virtue of its conformable'nature to m ore'than one size of womans shoeheel, to makennnecessary the manufacture the improved invention attached between the shoe-heel and the top-lift or cap. P The drawing nextunderneath shows the improved in vention when made readyto be attached to a womans shoe-heel. I e

Fig. IV shows the improved invention with an alternative for-m of extended projection (in lieu of arms or wings); also with projections foldedback in position to be attached to a shoe-heel.

Fig. I represents t-heconstruction of the present invention, which is in the nature of a thin curved metal band or plate so constructed as to be conformable to the external configuration of more than one size of we mans shoe-heel and protect the shoe-heel,

its attached top facing from displacement and injury 1 being-the band or plate, '2 and 3 being'holes' j for nails or other fasteners, and 1 one of;

two places where the bottom of the body been cutaway to permit the two arms or wings in frontto' be bent back, thus with the open circumference of the invention making '1t,-as hereinbefore stated, conformable to the external configurationof more than onesize ofv womans shoe-heel. v

Fig. II represents a form of double-pointed nails that may be used to attach the in vention to womens shoe-heels and top-liftsor caps. Inasmuch as these double-pointed nails do not extend through the top-lifts. 0r

caps, rise of them will avert damage to floor coverings and floors.

Fig. IIIrepresents a womans shoe-heel with this invention attached between the .shoe heel and its top lift or cap. N o. 5 represents the shoe-heel; No. 1 this invention;

No. 6 the top-lifter cap, and-No. 4, the donv I ble-pointedfnails'by means of" which a"w'omans shoe-heel, this invention and a top-lift or cap; are attached. The 'lower, smaller drawing underneath Fig. III shows this inventionwitht-hetwo arms or wings in front folded or bentbackin readiness to be at tached to a womans shoe-heel. This drawing shows how this invention would appear I on the bottom of a woman?s.shoe-heel before nails are driven in and its top-lifter cap added. Thelower edge of the shoe heel face. ing e., covering on the shoe-heel) is tucked under, concealed and protected by this inventio i Fig. IV represents a proposed variation in part of thisinvention, such variationbelng intended to serve the convenience of a'1nan' nfacturer. The two'arms or wmgsin the front of this proposed-variation consist only of small projections, which projections may be bent'back snug against a womans shoeheel and then be covered and concealed the breastf(outer covering) that manufacturers place on the inner side (front) of a womans shoe-heel. The other form of this invent on promotes the greater convenience .Of a shoe repair man inasmuch as a womans shoe usuallycomes to him with a breast or "outer covering already applied to the shoeheel. The other (regular) form of thisin vention is considered better adapted, there-' vfore, for use by repairmen, and the proposed V variation in the formof this inventlon is 10 conformable t0 the external configuration of the heel and of a length to project over a portion of the breast face of the heel.

2. In abinding for shoe heel facings, a

flexible metal band adapted to embrace a heel and a facing therefor at its lower edge, the said band having extensions foldable across the breast face of the heel, and'means for receiving fastenings for securing the extensions to the heel.
